Ratings last night

Sat in the home end and didn't have much to jump about.

Overall I thought we were pretty good in all honestly, just lacked a bit of drive in the middle at times

Green - 6 Distribution is actually very good and accurate, not really troubled although I was pretty close to when they scored (not seen a replay) but it looked like he was beat at near post! Dodgy final minute with a bouncing ball but game was over and defence was upfront at that time.

Taylor - 5 Needs to go, he's left footed and won't take it on the outside!!!!! Even if he can't beat the man he could win throw ins and corners and relieve defensive pressure, had one decent tackle but honestly needs to go

Pontus - 6 I said at half time he's getting sent off in the second half so was pleased Monk also saw that, he's an absolute rock, so good with the ball at his feet. Didn't see what the argy bargy was about at the end of second half, would have been an 8 had he completed the game on the same style

Bartley - 9 We have an absolute beauty of a player, alongside Pontus they didn't lose a header between them, he also is very comfortable on the ball and very wrong in holing off players, didn't put a foot wrong

Ayling - 7 Solid, like to come inside a bit too often for my liking, defended well and IMO not at fault for the goal, he had ventured forward with the ball gave it and the midfield lost it very quickly, too quick for even Usain to have been back in position

Dallas - 6 looked okay in the first half when bearing men on the outside, poor control in their box which could have led to a goal, tailed off and the Taylor Dallas combination looks poor down the left.

Sako - 7 had their LB on toast, strong and quick, likes to track back and help out, some decent tackles just lacks that bit of quality when it matters, but was the danger man all night

Pablo - 7 at times I thought he was running the midfield, splaying passes left and right, horribly miscued a shot right in front of me in the first half, should have been buried for 1-0, don't think everyone else is quite on his wavelength yet, for a bit tired towards the end and had less of an influence when the long balls were being played over, set price delivery could be better.

Phillips + Okane - 5 for me both of them were completely anonymous, some neat passing and some strong defensive work, didn't think they offered much between them at all

Wood - 7 Worked hard all night long, even outstripped their LB for pace to win the ball back in their half, was a handful all night with knock downs. Seems to be playing really well and taking responsibility of leading the line

Subs

Cooper - 5 so poor with his feet compared to Pontus, noticeable every time he cleared with his right foot, won a few headers but at times left headers for Bartley to clear even though he was better placed, a few glimpses of decent cross field balls to Sako but that's it

Roofe - 5 I would have switched Haido to the left when Roofe came on, he wants to take people on but I thought looked out of his depth, at least give him a chance on his preferred right side, cutting inside meant he was just clogging up and already busy area

Summary

Pretty good in defensive, midfield needs to do more. Wood up top did well.

Surprised not to see Antonsson for final 10 minutes

Played pretty well against a team who will likely be around the playoffs come May
